Sorry - finger trouble...
So the first thread was locked, sanitised and most of the comments deleted - again without explanation.
Is that to be taken as it seems?
Thanks very much guys, what i was looking for. The foam will be 50mm, type not quite finalised. (cat houses) I need to make some reabte and mitre cuts. Great to ehar that it doesn't melt on to the...
Just wondering if the typical polyurethane, polystyrene and extruded polystyrene/styrofoam insulation panels and also PVC cladding/facing can be cut to size on a panel saw. Wondering if they cut...
On flatness/straightness of edges, and the rabbit hole that is sharpening.
I run a modifed Veritas Mk2 honing jig on very carefully and frequently flattened waterstones, and am confident in saying...
I suspect it again comes down to what the iron is intended for Mike. If the camber is used to square joint the edge of a board then it's got to pay to use a profile that deliveres a predictable...
It's been said before, and i'd leave it to others more experienced to make recommendations on specific camber amounts Mike (but broadly it's got to correlate with the required maximum depth of cut...
Doug sounds like a very nice example of how bandsaws create differing realities for different users. Even a good example of a medium sized bandsaw used sensitively can be a very precise tool (in the...
It could be imagined that a high end saw with very expensive electronics ought to have over voltage and whatever other protection is advisable built in. What with lightning, the big factory down the...
The ones around here tend to have a top hardwood layer of only maybe 4mm - and that's the good ones...
Hi Sean - several rooms of solid oak hardwood, engineered and laminate done here.
Much like everybody laminate just doesn't feel like wood when you walk on it. Doesn't look awfully like it either....
I don't know the saw Steven, so don't take what i posted as a definite go.
The 16in or 17 in saws i was thinking of are the 5HP heavy duty resaw optimised Minimax, Grizzly (636?) or larger heavy...
A heavy bandsaw with a heavily tensioned carbide blade can definitely resaw accurately and effectively - but i don't think anybody said that it could shave a hair off an already cut surface.
Most...
Hi Mark, thanks for that. The adhesive looks like it could do the job. Amazed to see Loctite offering a relatively commodity product like that - not a hope back in the 80s when i worked for them when...
Guessing that as soon as any attempt is made to deepen the cut much below the plane of the sole that the tool might (?) become rather tippy unless it was advanced very slowly...
A good dark print from an old style xerox photocopy would iron, but whether there's another type of modern print that works i don't know. It's not always a great method, as depending on the...
As above at the basic level, and this is speculative as i've never tried what you are asking about. It might/might not be possible to get by as you say.
As Matt a good table saw will put a...
I've projects to build cat accommodation and a drying kiln on the go and can't seem to source ready skinned weather proof insulation panels to build them from - only the basic styrofoam panels. Sheet...
Like everything else Patrick there seems to be angles (not a pun!) to the rotary converter thing. For sure a static is going to produce a weak/leading or lagging phase. A rotary can be very good...
That's good to hear Vinnie. I've no experience of the opposition and hence could be expected to make positive noises - but the several Lee valley/Veritas BU bench and block planes i have have all...
Post 28 Keith. :) I missed the bit about the kerf width making it impossible to saw an 8x4 into two 4x4s. Presuming that's an 'in' joke for you guys?
It'd be dead interesting to hear how you get...
Hi Keith. :) There's always some guy - but it's possible to halve a full 8x4 sheet on a Hammer K3 Perform with 8ft slider even though there is only around 32in of nominal rip capacity. (the layout is...
Think part of the trouble is that some use stropping to remove relatively large amounts of metal after fairly coarse grit honing, and others very lightly and precisely to just remove any vestigial...
